LA TimesFrom left to right, Billy Baldwin, Alec Baldwin and Daniel Baldwin attend “Spike’s One Night Only: Alec Baldwin” at The Apollo Theater on June 25, 2017, in New York City. According to actor Daniel Baldwin, his older brother, Alec Baldwin, is “a target” being attacked for his political views in the wake of the “Rust” shooting. “You know Alec’s got the name, though, doesn’t he?” the younger Baldwin said on a Monday episode of the radio program “The Domenick Nati Show” on Instagram Live. “Let them run with it because six months from now, everyone’s going to realize people are going to go to jail or they’re going to be sued, or whatever, and it won’t be him.” As more details from the accident have been made public, Daniel was among those who placed blame on “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed and assistant director Dave Halls for the breakdown in the chain of command that led to Alec firing the fatal shot.
